Random but my cousin called me today and told me out of the blue that there is a 99.9% chance that he has a backstage pass with me this year and that he'll take me to watch The Ghost Inside and Every Time I Die from the side and also he said he's pretty positive he can get me a interview with TGI since he use to play with their manager. Also he said he'll introduce me to guys in ETID since he's friends with all of them since he toured with them and Normal Jean in 2002.

Oh the random calls I get.

Super cool. First Warped Tour I went to I saw Norma Jean and they were fantastic! I kicked an empty Rockstar can that the singer dropkicked off the stage.

Their brand of pop punk has more in common with the likes of All Time Low, so it's a bit bubblegummy, but it's still not terrible. I probably wouldn't watch these guys, but it's a good alternative to most other powerpop bands.

I know people who absolutely hate this band, but I really, really love them. They play a great combination of catchy rock with a heavy chiptune/8-bit influence. When I saw them open for mc chris, most of the songs had modified videogame controller instruments, including a DDR mat! It was really cool and I'm super stoked to see them again. Think if Jonathan Coulton rocked a bit harder.
